“Poland’s Veno Automotive has released images of its yet-to-be-named supercar, but it may as well be called the Lamborghini Reventon II. Veno claims that its supercar has a unique design and – surprise, surprise – was inspired by fighter jets, just as the Reventon was”

The Chinese Shuanghuan CEO that has a similar appearance to a model made by Germany’s BMW must halt all sales and destroy all its vehicles in Germany, a court in Munich ruled. The court ordered the importers, China Automobile, to pay compensatory damages to BMW, which is based in Munich. BMW alleges that the Shuanghuan CEO closely resembles its X5.
“We are pleased that the court has agreed with our views,” a BMW spokesman said after the ruling.
Karl Schloessl of China Automobile Germany said he would launch an appeal against the ruling, which is not yet binding, saying he was prepared to take the case to the European Court of Justice. It was impossible to ban a vehicle in Germany that was allowed to be on the road in the rest of Europe, Schloessl said, adding that there were more than 1,000 Shuanghuan CEOs on the road in Italy.
He added that the ruling was based on similarities to the BMW X5 dating back to 1998, describing it as “a very old car.” Schloessl said the appearance of the vehicle could easily be altered by changing “five or six elements.” BMW has not made clear whether it will seek the compensatory damages awarded by the court. In the face of protests from German manufacturers, Shuanghuan withdrew its CEO from the Frankfurt IAA international motor show held in September last year.
While on a visit to China in August last year, Chancellor Angela Merkel criticized Chinese carmakers for blatant copies of German makes. Apart from the CEO, Shuanghuan has drawn criticism for its Nobel, which bears a resemblance to Daimler’s Smart, an ultra-compact two-seater.

Aah, the wornderfull world of Famiclones. For more than 20 years, millions of weird looking Nintendo NES clones have spread all over the world ofcourse originating from China. They all have one thing in common: they’re all based on the Nintendo 8-bit NES chip. A lot of famiclones (The first Nintendo console - released in Japan - was called the FAMICOM, which is short for Family Computer, hence the name Famiclone) also have built-in games which are blatant copies of, or really weird adoptions of, 8-bit NES games.
Back in the ’80s Russia didn’t get an official release of the famicom or NES and famiclones named ‘Dendy’ were the consoles the kids played with. There were even official Dendy stores selling their communist pirated wares.
Famiclones used to look like a NES or a Super Nes. Nowadays, although they still play those crappy 8-bit games, they often look like playstations and x-boxes.
It’s an intrueging sub-culture in the world of video-gaming industry….

If you’re gonna make the effort in copying a product, why not go all the way? I’m sure that these odd fakes infringe a copyright as well, so why not put the ‘real’ logo on it?
I can’t imagine someone buying a ‘Abcids’ bag in the hope people with very bad eyesight will think it’s a Adidas bag….

UK based Porsche kit-car manufacturer Covin started making Porsche based kits for VW beetles in the early eighties. The kits are rather rare and there’s a Covin fan-club.
Some of the kits are really good looking, but a replica is a replica, wich makes all of you Covin owners rather sad wankers, except the ones that have Covin emblems on their kits (no one).
I guess that when you live in China, you can expect anything to be fake, even the blood plasma you so terribly need after that darn surgery. It seems Chinese counterfeiters will fake anything ‘in demand’ to make money… Sad.. really, really sad.
